Johnathan Corgan bbd4de9e76 Merge master into refactor-hotpath-next
Bring master's runtime peer-list refresh, opt-in mDNS LAN discovery, and
the receive-path reject-reason / reloadable-config refactor into the XX
handshake integration branch. The peer-restart-epoch detection and
stale-FSP-session teardown authored against Noise IK are re-authored onto
the Noise XX rekey path: complete_rekey_msg2 now also surfaces the remote
startup epoch, and the stale session is cleared once the XX rekey
completes (after msg3 is sent). Connect-budget and path-refresh work is
threaded through the XX anonymous-discovery branch.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan 7d7b551ca1 discovery: add opt-in mDNS LAN discovery
Add scoped mDNS / DNS-SD discovery for peers on the same local link,
giving sub-second pairing without a relay or NAT-traversal roundtrip.
A node advertises its npub, protocol version, and an optional network
scope over link-local multicast, and browses for matching adverts to
initiate Noise handshakes against same-LAN peers.

LAN discovery is disabled by default; operators enable it with
node.discovery.lan.enabled: true. Default-off avoids reintroducing a
per-LAN identity broadcast on nodes that have deliberately disabled
other discovery channels, and avoids any multicast surprise on upgrade.

The startup advertised-port picker now excludes bootstrap transports
and selects a non-bootstrap operational UDP transport with a stable
lowest-id selector, so the advertised port is deterministic across
restarts rather than dependent on HashMap iteration order. This
matches the per-dial transport selection used for discovered peers.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan da0d9d39a0 node: refresh active peer paths without dropping links
Add Node::update_peers for runtime peer-list refresh. It re-derives the
active peer connections from a new peer configuration, adding newly
configured peers and removing those no longer present, while keeping
links to peers that remain in the set rather than tearing every
connection down. The call returns an UpdatePeersOutcome summarizing the
added, removed, and retained peers.

PeerAddress gains a seen_at_ms recency field (with_seen_at_ms). Active
path selection now sorts address candidates by recency so the most
recently observed address wins when concurrent path probes race.

complete_rekey_msg2 now returns the remote peer's startup epoch
alongside the new Noise session, letting the rekey path detect a peer
restart and clear stale session state. A stale FSP session is cleared
when a peer restart is detected during FMP rekey or cross-connection
promotion, so the session-layer map no longer lingers out of sync with
the freshly promoted peer.

Per-tick work budgets bound the connection churn in a single node tick
(MAX_DISCOVERY_CONNECTS_PER_TICK, MAX_RETRY_CONNECTIONS_PER_TICK,
MAX_PARALLEL_PATH_CANDIDATES_PER_PEER); work beyond a tick's budget is
deferred to the next tick rather than discarded.

Johnathan Corgan 6991a152e6 Merge maint into master (outbound admission gate + mesh-size parent skip)
Brings two structural fixes landed on maint:
- compute_mesh_size: explicit parent skip in the children loop, so the
  disjoint-subtree invariant no longer depends on peer_declaration cache
  freshness.
- max_peers: outbound connection-initiation gated on the cap (auto-reconnect
  retries, Nostr-mediated discovery established adoption, and both sides
  of the NAT-traversal punch sequence). Inbound msg1 admission gate
  unchanged.

Johnathan Corgan d4687e5d30 node: gate outbound connection initiation on max_peers
node.limits.max_peers was honored only on inbound msg1 admission
(handshake.rs handle_msg1 returns PeerLimitExceeded when peers.len
is at the cap). Four outbound initiation paths proceeded unconditionally
at capacity: auto-reconnect retries (process_pending_retries),
Nostr-mediated discovery's BootstrapEvent::Established adoption
(poll_nostr_discovery), NAT-traversal punch initiation (the outgoing
side of the offer/answer/punch sequence in the Nostr discovery
runtime), and NAT-traversal punch response (the incoming side of the
same sequence). A saturated node burned CPU, UDP probes, STUN
observations, and Nostr relay traffic on connections that the inbound
gate would reject the moment they reached msg1.

Introduce Node::outbound_admission_check (peers.len < max_peers, or
true when max_peers == 0 as the no-cap sentinel) and gate the four
paths. The discovery runtime lives in a separate task and does not
hold a Node reference; bridge via an Arc<AtomicBool> the runtime
reads and Node refreshes once per tick from outbound_admission_check.
The atomic granularity is intentionally loose: one-tick lag is
acceptable because the inbound msg1 gate continues to be the
authoritative cap, and in-flight handshakes started below the cap
are allowed to complete.

Inbound gate at handshake.rs is unchanged.

Johnathan Corgan 5dfbd05fe8 Merge maint into master (cross-init NAT-traversal tie-breaker) 2026-05-24 18:14:39 +00:00
Johnathan Corgan f396d71826 node: deterministic tie-breaker for cross-init NAT traversal adoption
When both peers' Nostr-mediated UDP punches complete within the
same scheduling window, each side's `BootstrapEvent::Established`
event arrives with `is_connecting_to_peer` already true: each side
received an inbound msg1 from the peer's pre-punch outbound
attempt, which created a connecting-state record. The deduplication
skip then fires on both sides, neither installs the fresh
traversal socket as canonical, and the peer-adoption budget
(45 s) expires. Cross-node wall-clock alignment of the skip log
line in observed failures was within ~1 ms — simultaneous dual-
fire under contention, the dual-initiation pattern.

Apply the deterministic NodeAddr tie-breaker already used at
`handlers/handshake.rs:269` for rekey dual-initiation and in
`peer::cross_connection_winner` for cross-connection resolution.
Smaller NodeAddr wins as adopter: enumerate the in-flight
connections whose `expected_identity` points at this peer, tear
them down via the canonical `cleanup_stale_connection` helper, and
fall through to `adopt_established_traversal`. Larger NodeAddr
loses and keeps the existing `continue` semantics; the loser's
in-flight outbound is reconciled by `handle_msg1`'s cross-
connection logic when the winner's fresh msg1 arrives over the
adopted socket.

`cleanup_stale_connection` visibility bumped from module-private
to `pub(in crate::node)` so it is callable from `lifecycle.rs`.
The defensive re-check inside `adopt_established_traversal`
itself is left as-is — after the outer cleanup the winner reaches
it with `is_connecting_to_peer == false`, so the inner skip
won't trip. The `BootstrapEvent::Failed` arm is unchanged: there
is no winning outcome on dual failure, and the existing skip +
retry-schedule semantics are correct.

Johnathan Corgan d6729086de Merge master into next (data-plane perf overhaul, packaging fixes)
Forward-merges PR #91 (off-task encrypt/decrypt worker pools, GSO,
connected UDP), the macOS #102 package-integrity fix, and the AUR
#98 fips-dns fix from master.

Six textual conflicts resolved: wire/noise imports, the K-bit-flip
and rekey-cutover handlers, ActivePeer fields, and an advert test
fixture. One semantic conflict: PR #91's worker-pool code on master
referenced FLAG_SP and MmpPeerState.spin_bit, which next removed in
4aded9a2 (spin bit superseded by the MMP receiver-report timestamp
echo; FMP flags bit 2 reclaimed). The worker acceleration and its
fmp_flags round-trip test are kept; the spin-bit references are
dropped to honor next's wire-format change.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan 0a5c367edc data-plane perf overhaul: off-task encrypt + decrypt, GSO, connected UDP
Moves both AEAD layers (ChaCha20-Poly1305, one round per layer per
packet) plus the sendmsg syscall off the rx_loop task onto a per-shard
worker pool, adds per-peer connect(2)-ed UDP with SO_REUSEPORT, and
uses Linux UDP GSO (sendmsg+UDP_SEGMENT — kernel splits one super-skb
into N on-the-wire datagrams in a single TX-stack walk) when packets
in a batch are uniform-size. Same kernel primitive WireGuard's
in-kernel module and BoringTun use to hit 2.5–3.2 Gbps single-stream.

Single TCP stream on a 5-node docker-bridge mesh, 5 x 15 s x P=1:

  A→D:  1379 → 2708 Mbps  (1.96x, RTT +0.12 ms)
  A→E:  1394 → 2663 Mbps  (1.91x, RTT +0.11 ms)
  E→A:  1406 → 2624 Mbps  (1.87x, RTT +0.19 ms)

Static-peer pairs only — every CoV under 3%, 0 outliers, 0% ICMP
loss. The ~+100 µs RTT is the worker queue handoff cost; AEAD +
sendmmsg now run on a separate core in exchange.

What lands:

- src/node/encrypt_worker.rs: std::thread + crossbeam_channel
  workers; hash-by-destination dispatch pins a TCP flow to one
  worker so wire ordering is preserved; per-worker sendmmsg(2)
  batching up to 32; Linux uses sendmsg(2)+UDP_SEGMENT when
  packets in a group are uniform-size.

- src/node/decrypt_worker.rs: receive-side mirror. Each shard owns
  its session's recv cipher + replay window in a thread-local
  HashMap (no shared RwLock/Mutex). Sessions are handed off at
  promote_connection and re-registered on K-bit flip / rekey
  cutover.

- src/node/handlers/session.rs try_send_session_data_pipelined:
  FSP+FMP both seal in-place in the worker on one wire-buffer
  alloc; no intermediate inner_plaintext / fsp_payload Vecs.

- src/transport/udp/connected_peer.rs + peer_drain.rs: per-peer
  connect(2)-ed UDP socket with SO_REUSEPORT (set on the listen
  socket too — without that, EADDRINUSE on activation and every
  packet falls back to the wildcard path); the worker sends with
  msg_name=NULL and the kernel uses its cached 5-tuple. Tick-
  driven activation in handlers/connected_udp.rs, idempotent.

- src/transport/udp/mod.rs: mem::replace the recvmmsg backing buffer
  instead of buf.to_vec() per packet — single pointer swap, no
  MTU-sized memcpy.

- src/protocol/link.rs SessionDatagramRef: zero-copy borrowed view
  used by handle_session_datagram for the bulk local-delivery
  path; handle_session_payload takes the borrowed payload
  directly (no payload[35..].to_vec()).

- src/transport/mod.rs TransportAddr::from_socket_addr: collapses
  the two-alloc from_string(addr.to_string()) pattern to one.

- src/node/handlers/rx_loop.rs: decrypt-fallback drain promoted
  ahead of packet_rx in the select! (TCP ACK starvation fix);
  interleaved fallback drain every 32 packets inside the rx burst
  loop.

- noise::Session: send_cipher_clone / recv_cipher_clone /
  recv_replay_snapshot_owned / take_send_counter / accept_replay
  so off-task workers can hold a cloned cipher + reserved counter
  while the dispatcher keeps replay/counter sequencing serial.
  CipherState::cipher_clone returns a refcount-bumped LessSafeKey.
  AsyncUdpSocket: AsRawFd so workers issue raw sendmmsg / sendmsg
  without going through the tokio reactor.

- Worker pool sizing: both default to num_cpus, overridable via
  FIPS_ENCRYPT_WORKERS=N / FIPS_DECRYPT_WORKERS=N. Per-peer
  connected UDP can be disabled via FIPS_CONNECTED_UDP=0.

- src/perf_profile.rs: optional per-stage timing reporter under
  FIPS_PERF=1 (or FIPS_PIPELINE_TRACE=1). Off by default; zero
  overhead when disabled.

- All cfg(unix)-gated. Windows continues on the existing tokio-
  based send/recv.

Decrypt worker session lifecycle:

- Node::unregister_decrypt_worker_session mirrors the existing
  register helper. Wired at the two natural sites that already
  iterate peers_by_index: the rekey drain-completion block in
  handlers/rekey.rs (drops the worker entry for the old our_index
  once the drain window has expired and the cache_key is
  unreachable to any in-flight OLD-K packet), and remove_active_peer
  in handlers/dispatch.rs (drops the worker entry for each of the
  four index slots: current, rekey, pending, previous). Only
  our_index is normally registered; unregister_session is fire-
  and-forget for missing entries, so calling unconditionally on
  all four slots is correct and bounds the cleanup without per-
  slot accounting. Without these callers the per-worker sessions
  HashMap and the Node's decrypt_registered_sessions set would
  grow monotonically per rekey on long-lived peers.

Testing:

- testing/static/scripts/bench-multirun.sh: multi-run iperf3 +
  ping bench. N reruns (default 5), median / min / max / CoV % /
  per-run outlier flag, avg ping RTT, ICMP loss %, TCP retransmit
  total. Plain client→dest labels + topology header. Pre-bench
  peer-convergence check (FIPS_BENCH_CONVERGE_SECS, default 15);
  per-path route verification via stats.bytes_sent deltas — fails
  fast if traffic exits via a non-static-peer link.

- testing/static/docker-compose.yml: passes FIPS_ENCRYPT_WORKERS /
  FIPS_DECRYPT_WORKERS / FIPS_PERF through to containers for A/B
  benchmarking without rebuilds.

- testing/static/scripts/iperf-test.sh: same plain client→dest
  labels + topology header (was multihop/direct/N hop, which
  conflated topology distance with on-wire path).

- .config/nextest.toml: synthetic UDP node tests serialized
  through a max-threads=1 test group. Localhost handshakes drop
  on shared CI runners under parallel load; one-at-a-time keeps
  assertions reliable.

- src/node/tests/spanning_tree.rs: repair_missing_edge_handshakes
  — retries up to 5 times for synthetic edges whose msg1 was
  dropped, with a drain after each edge retry instead of after
  each attempt's full burst.

- src/node/decrypt_worker.rs::tests: two unit tests asserting
  WorkerMsg::UnregisterSession removes the worker-thread session
  HashMap entry (handle_msg_unregister_session_removes_entry) and
  is a no-op for never-seen cache_keys
  (handle_msg_unregister_session_idempotent_on_unknown_key), which
  is the safety invariant the unconditional unregister calls at
  the four index slots in remove_active_peer rely on.

- src/node/encrypt_worker.rs::unix_tests
  pipelined_send_wire_layout_roundtrips_canonical_decoders: mirrors
  the encoder geometry of try_send_session_data_pipelined (no
  coords, the common established-session path), runs the worker's
  real seal + send via flush_direct_batch_sync, and decodes the
  resulting wire packet using only canonical receive-side decoders
  (EncryptedHeader::parse, SessionDatagramRef::decode, FSP header
  parse, noise::open). Any divergence between the hand-rolled
  encoder offsets (fsp_aad_offset, fsp_plaintext_offset) and the
  decoders fails at one of the parse / open / decode steps before
  the inner-plaintext assertion fires. Complements the existing
  fsp_preseal_runs_before_outer_fmp_seal test which covers the
  seal-ordering invariant with synthetic headers but does not
  exercise the wire-layout invariant.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan 87d1af0269 nostr: ignore stale traversal for active peers
Skip BootstrapEvent::Established and BootstrapEvent::Failed dispatch
in poll_nostr_discovery for peers that are already connected or
actively handshaking. Without these guards, stale traversal events
arriving after a peer connected through a different path would
either attempt to adopt a redundant socket against the live
connection (Established) or poison the per-peer failure-state
cooldown and trigger redundant retraversal via schedule_retry /
try_peer_addresses (Failed).

The four guard sites use a new is_connecting_to_peer helper extracted
from the existing closure inside initiate_peer_connection; the helper
checks for an in-flight outbound handshake state. adopt_established_traversal
gains a defense-in-depth check returning PeerAlreadyExists when called
against an already-promoted peer, so the invariant holds if a future
caller bypasses the outer dispatch guard.

Side benefit: narrows a cooldown-poisoning vector previously available
to an attacker injecting stale failure events for an active peer.

Test coverage for the new behavior:

- test_try_peer_addresses_skips_connected_peer
- test_try_peer_addresses_skips_connecting_peer
- test_nostr_traversal_failure_skips_connected_peer (Failed-arm event
  injection)
- test_nostr_traversal_established_skips_connected_peer (Established-arm
  event injection, mirror of the Failed test)
- test_adopted_traversal_skips_already_connected_peer
  (adopt_established_traversal defense-in-depth)

2d18d019d6 Evict stale overlay advert when retry hits NoTransportForType
The advert cache inside fetch_advert is read-only on hit — once a peer's
overlay advert is cached, every subsequent lookup returns the same
endpoints regardless of whether they still work. So when a peer rebinds
its NAT (or its STUN-discovered port flaps), connection retries to that
peer dial the same dead address forever, even with exponential backoff
firing at the right cadence.

Observed in deployment: macOS daemon's view of a Linux peer would
"regress" — peer marked rch=False after a brief link-dead window, then
hours of "Retry connection initiation failed: no operational transport
for any of <npub>'s addresses" with no recovery. Manual pause+resume of
the daemon (which restarts the FIPS endpoint and forces fresh advert
fetches) was the only way out.

When initiate_peer_connection / a retry tick returns
NodeError::NoTransportForType, fire-and-forget refetch_advert_for_stale_check
on the peer's npub. This re-fetches kind 37195 from advert_relays; if
the relay has a newer advert it replaces the cached entry, if it has
nothing it evicts the cached entry. Either way the next retry tick goes
to fresh data instead of looping on the same dead endpoint.

Mirrors the existing stale-advert sweep that runs from the
BootstrapEvent::Failed (NAT-traversal-streak) path, but covers the
direct-UDP-retry path which never crosses that streak threshold.

64cc30df12 Schedule retry on startup peer-init failure
When initiate_peer_connections() runs at boot, address resolution can
fail for an entire peer (no operational transport for the configured
transport types, all addresses unreachable, NAT rebind invalidated cached
endpoints, etc.). Before this change the failure was logged and silently
forgotten — the peer entry stayed in a dead state forever, accepting
incoming pings but unable to answer them, until the daemon was manually
restarted.

The retry plumbing (schedule_retry / process_pending_retries with
exponential backoff) already exists and is wired into the post-handshake
failure paths (BootstrapEvent::Failed, MMP dead-link timeout, handshake
timeout). The startup loop just wasn't calling it. Mirror the
BootstrapEvent::Failed path: on a startup peer-init error, parse the
peer's npub and call schedule_retry so the peer recovers without
operator intervention.

Includes a regression test that asserts retry_pending is populated when
initiate_peer_connections() fails for a peer with no operational
transport.

Martti MalmiandJohnathan Corgan f0bb29ff6e node: inherit primary UDP config when adopting NAT-traversal sockets
`Node::adopt_established_traversal` was constructing the adopted UDP
transport with `UdpConfig::default()` — MTU 1280, default recv/send
buffer sizes, default accept/advertise flags. If the operator had
configured a higher MTU on the primary `[transports.udp]` listener
(e.g. 1500 on a path where larger frames are known viable), full-sized
tunnel datagrams sent over the NAT-traversed link would exceed the
adopted socket's MTU and get dropped at the socket layer with no
visibility into why throughput collapsed.

Inherit the primary UDP config (MTU + recv/send buffer sizes + accept
/ advertise flags) and clear the bind / external-address fields since
the adopted socket is already bound. Lookup tries `transport_name`
first so operators with multiple named `[transports.udp.<name>]`
listeners pick up inheritance from the matching listener, and falls
back to the unnamed `Single` listener so single-instance configs work
unchanged.

The previous default of MTU 1280 was deliberately the IPv6 minimum,
the only value guaranteed to survive arbitrary middlebox paths. With
this change, operators who set their primary listener higher (based
on known-clean LAN topology) will have NAT-traversed flows initially
attempting that higher MTU and possibly black-holing on tighter paths
until reactive `MtuExceeded` recovery kicks in. Documented in the
adoption call-site comment so future readers understand why the
conservative default went away.

Discovered in a downstream consumer where a `MESH_TUNNEL_MTU=1320` /
encrypted wire ~1426B produced silent packet drop on every session
that had been promoted onto a NAT-traversed link.

Adds two sibling tests in `src/node/tests/bootstrap.rs` pinning the
new behaviour for the `Single` and `Named` config variants.

Johnathan Corgan a62a0a6cf4 nostr: suppress retraversal of cross-FMP-version peers
Open-discovery NAT traversal succeeds at the UDP layer regardless
of what FMP-protocol version the peer speaks. When the daemon
discovers a peer running a different FMP version (e.g. a v0/v1 mix
during a mid-rollout window, or a misconfigured peer in the same
advert namespace), the punch sequence completes, the socket is
adopted via `Node::adopt_established_traversal`, and we initiate
an FMP handshake. The peer drops our msg1 at its own version-gate
and we drop their msg1/msg2 at `Unknown FMP version, dropping`.
Neither side advances the handshake.

Today the bootstrap transport sits idle until the 31s stale-
handshake timeout, drops, and the open-discovery sweep ~30s later
fires the full STUN+offer+answer+punch sequence again — every
minute, indefinitely, against peers the handshake literally cannot
complete with.

Add a `Node::bootstrap_transport_npubs` map populated alongside
`bootstrap_transports` at adopt time. The rx loop reverse-maps the
transport_id → npub on version-mismatch and bumps the discovery
layer's `failure_state` to a long structural cooldown via the new
`NostrDiscovery::record_protocol_mismatch` API. The next sweep
skips the npub for `protocol_mismatch_cooldown_secs` (default
86400 = 24h, separate from the 30-min transient-failure
`extended_cooldown_secs`).

One-shot WARN per fresh observation. Repeat mismatches inside the
cooldown window are silent (the failure_state method returns false
when an existing comparable cooldown is already in place). The
handshake/transport teardown chain is unchanged — the fix is
specifically about preventing the *next* sweep cycle from
re-traversing.

Cleared on `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` and on the
adopt-failure rollback path so completed handshakes don't leave
stale entries behind.

Four new unit tests in `failure_state.rs` cover fresh-entry
signaling, repeat-suppression inside the window, streak-pin
behavior for `show_peers` rendering, and post-cooldown re-arming.

Johnathan Corgan 2f95929862 nostr: public-IP discovery for UDP/TCP advert publication
When a UDP transport had `advertise_on_nostr: true` + `public: true`
+ `bind_addr: 0.0.0.0:NNNN`, the advert builder previously read the
kernel's `local_addr()`, found `0.0.0.0`, filtered it out (correctly
— wildcard isn't a valid advertised endpoint), and silently emitted
no UDP endpoint in the published advert. Operators on AWS EIP / GCP
/ Azure setups (where binding to the public IP directly is impossible
because 1:1 NAT does the address translation off-host) had no way to
advertise UDP without binding to a specific local IP — and no log
explaining what was happening. TCP had the same shape, with no
`public: true` precondition.

Three pieces, layered. UDP gets zero-config autodiscovery via STUN;
both UDP and TCP get an explicit operator-supplied override; the
fall-through path now logs loudly instead of silently skipping.

UDP public-IP autodiscovery (STUN)
----------------------------------
In the UDP `is_public()` + wildcard-bind branch, run a one-shot
STUN observation against an ephemeral UDP socket on the daemon's
configured `stun_servers`. Take the reflexive IPv4 (the
STUN-reported port is the ephemeral source port and is discarded),
combine with the configured listener port for the advert
(`udp:<reflexive-ip>:<port>`). Works on AWS EIP / GCP / Azure
1:1-NAT setups because STUN sees the public-Internet egress IP and
the bind port is preserved through 1:1 NAT.

Result is cached per-transport on a new `public_udp_addr_cache`
field on `NostrDiscovery` (keyed by `TransportId.as_u32()`).
Asymmetric cache TTL: a successful observation is cached for
`advert_refresh_secs` (default 30 min) so we don't STUN every
refresh tick. A failed observation is cached for only 60s
(`PUBLIC_UDP_ADDR_FAILURE_TTL`) so a transient STUN flake at
startup retries within ~a minute and the advert grows its UDP
endpoint as soon as STUN starts working — rather than waiting the
full 30-min cycle.

The shared `observe_traversal_addresses` STUN helper had a
hard-coded 2s per-server response wait, right for the
per-traversal flow (latency-sensitive — 3 STUN servers worst-case
= 6s) but too short for the one-shot advert-publish startup
discovery. Parameterized `per_server_timeout` on the helper, with
two named constants in `stun.rs`: `TRAVERSAL_STUN_TIMEOUT = 2s`
(existing call sites) and `ADVERT_STUN_TIMEOUT = 5s` (new
public-UDP discovery path). Both use `tokio::time::timeout_at`
under the hood, so success returns immediately — the timeout is
only the worst case.

`external_addr` override (UDP + TCP)
------------------------------------
New `external_addr: Option<String>` field on `transports.udp.*`
and `transports.tcp.*` for explicit advertise-as override. Takes
precedence over both the bound `local_addr` and (for UDP) the
STUN-derived autodiscovery.

Required for TCP on cloud-NAT setups (AWS EIP, GCP/Azure external
IPs) where binding to the public IP directly fails with
`EADDRNOTAVAIL` because the public IP isn't on a host interface —
the network fabric does 1:1 NAT off-host. Without this field the
operator's only TCP path was "leave advert off" or "find a way to
make the public IP locally bindable."

For UDP, `external_addr` is optional but useful as a deterministic
alternative to STUN. Operators who want to skip STUN egress, whose
STUN servers are blocked, or who want the daemon to not depend on
external services for advert content can specify it explicitly.

The accessor parses two shapes:

- Bare IP (`"54.183.70.180"` or `"2001:db8::1"`): combines with
  the configured `bind_addr` port.
- Full host:port (`"54.183.70.180:8443"` or `"[2001:db8::1]:443"`):
  used verbatim — useful for port-forward setups where the
  externally-visible port differs from the bind port.

Final precedence in `Node::build_overlay_advert` (now async, only
caller `refresh_overlay_advert` was already async):

- UDP: `external_addr` → non-wildcard `local_addr` → STUN → loud warn
- TCP: `external_addr` → non-wildcard `local_addr` → loud warn

Loud warns instead of silent skips
----------------------------------
The wildcard-bind fall-through paths now log a `warn!` pointing at
the operator-side fixes:

- UDP: "set transports.udp.external_addr, bind to a specific
  public IP, or ensure node.discovery.nostr.stun_servers is
  reachable"
- TCP: "Either set external_addr to the public IP (recommended for
  cloud 1:1-NAT setups) or bind explicitly to the public IP"

Replaces the silent skip that previously cost operators a
debugging session when the advert mysteriously contained only the
Tor onion endpoint.

Tests
-----
11 new unit tests in `src/config/transport.rs` covering the
parser (IPv4/IPv6, bare/full, malformed) and the accessor (UDP
with default bind, UDP with explicit port override, UDP unset,
TCP without bind_addr, TCP with bind_addr, TCP with full
socket-addr override, parse_bind_port for IPv4/IPv6/malformed).
The 38-test nostr suite still passes.

Johnathan Corgan bcc9c525d3 nostr: per-peer NAT-traversal failure suppression and clock-skew handling
Public-test daemons with populous open-discovery caches generate
sustained NAT-traversal-failure WARN volume (~140/hour, ~3500/day)
against cache-learned peers that have gone offline — their adverts
are absent from major Nostr relays but cached entries persist until
their advertised `valid_until` expires. The daemon kept publishing
offers indefinitely under exponential backoff with no per-peer
suppression, drowning operator signal and hammering relays. A
parallel concern: the strict freshness check at signal.rs silently
rejected offers under modest clock skew (now_ms() anchors to
SystemTime once at startup, so post-startup NTP step adjustments
don't propagate on long-uptime daemons), indistinguishable from
"peer is offline."

Six independent improvements layered on the existing retry logic.

Per-npub WARN log rate-limit
----------------------------
New `FailureState` struct on `NostrDiscovery` records per-npub
`last_warn_at_ms`. Subsequent failures inside `warn_log_interval_secs`
(default 5 min) emit DEBUG instead of WARN. Each WARN now also
carries `consecutive_failures` and remaining `cooldown_secs` so
operators can read the trajectory without grepping multiple lines.

Per-npub consecutive-failure counter + extended cooldown
--------------------------------------------------------
After `failure_streak_threshold` (default 5) consecutive failures
against a peer, the next `extended_cooldown_secs` (default 1800)
of attempts are suppressed by pushing
`retry_pending[npub].retry_after_ms` past the cooldown wall. The
open-discovery sweep also consults `cooldown_until` and increments
a new `skipped_cooldown` counter so a peer whose `retry_pending`
was cleared by max_retries doesn't get re-enqueued during the
cooldown window. Caps offer-publish rate per dead peer regardless
of how often the sweep tries to re-enqueue.

Stale-advert eviction on streak-threshold transition
----------------------------------------------------
On the threshold-crossing transition (one-shot, not every
subsequent failure), `tokio::spawn` an active re-fetch of the
peer's Kind 37195 advert from `advert_relays`. Three outcomes:
- absent on relays → cache evicted; sweep won't re-enqueue
  (peer is genuinely gone).
- newer `created_at` → cache refreshed + streak reset
  (peer republished; allowed to retry immediately).
- same → cache untouched; cooldown stands.

Cost: ~one fetch per dead peer per 30-min cooldown cycle, vs
hundreds of offer publishes/hour today.

Clock-skew tolerance on freshness check
---------------------------------------
`signal.rs` `validate_offer_freshness` and
`validate_traversal_answer_for_offer` now allow ±60s grace beyond
strict TTL. Both return a new `FreshnessOutcome` enum so callers
can DEBUG-log when an offer/answer was only accepted via the grace
window. `FRESHNESS_SKEW_TOLERANCE_MS` is hard-coded — loosening
this past minutes erodes the freshness/replay security boundary
and operators tend to tune in the wrong direction.

NTP-style skew estimate (offer_received_at echo)
------------------------------------------------
Added optional `offerReceivedAt: Option<u64>` field to
`TraversalAnswer` payload. Responder fills it with `now_ms()` at
offer-receipt time. Initiator computes the standard NTP offset
formula `((T2-T1) + (T3-T4)) / 2` against the round-trip and
DEBUG-logs when `|skew| ≥ 30s`. Skew is also stashed in
`FailureState` and surfaced in `show_peers`. Non-breaking — older
responders that don't fill the field still produce valid answers,
and `estimate_clock_skew` returns `None`.

Per-peer state in `show_peers` JSON
-----------------------------------
Each peer entry in `show_peers` now carries:

  "nostr_traversal": {
    "consecutive_failures": <u32>,
    "in_cooldown": <bool>,
    "cooldown_until_ms": <u64 | null>,
    "last_observed_skew_ms": <i64 | null>
  }

Always emitted (schema-stable); values populated when discovery is
enabled and the npub has a recorded entry. Required a new public
`Node::nostr_discovery_handle()` accessor and refactored
`FailureState`'s internal Mutex from `tokio::sync` to `std::sync`
(operations never hold across await), which lets the synchronous
`show_peers` handler call `snapshot()` directly without the
dispatcher becoming async.

New config knobs (under `node.discovery.nostr`)
-----------------------------------------------
  failure_streak_threshold: 5
  extended_cooldown_secs: 1800
  warn_log_interval_secs: 300
  failure_state_max_entries: 4096

Tests
-----
12 new unit tests:
- 5 in `tests.rs` covering freshness strict / tolerated / rejected
  outcomes, NTP skew estimation, and the backward-compat None case
  when the responder didn't fill `offer_received_at`.
- 7 in `failure_state.rs` covering streak/warn-rate-limit state
  transitions, cooldown active vs expired semantics,
  success-resets-streak, observed-skew records, and size-cap
  eviction by oldest `last_failure_at`.

Johnathan Corgan e08f42e3cc Pin discovery state machine: open-discovery sweep + per-attempt lookup timeout
Cover two adjacent runtime behaviors in the discovery state machine
that were previously unpinned at the test level.

1. Open-discovery startup sweep iterate-filter-queue contract.

Cover the runtime sweep behavior: iterate advert cache, apply
skip-filters (own-pubkey, already-connected peers), queue eligible
entries to retry_pending. The config layer was tested but the sweep's
own filtering logic was unpinned.

src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs: add #[cfg(test)] impl block with
three pub(crate) helpers — new_for_test() builds a minimal
NostrDiscovery with empty cache and no relays/background tasks (uses
fresh nostr::Keys signer + Client::builder().autoconnect(false));
cached_advert_for_test() wraps an OverlayEndpointAdvert into a
CachedOverlayAdvert valid for 1h; insert_advert_for_test() writes
direct to the advert_cache RwLock. All three vanish from release
builds via cfg-gating.

src/node/lifecycle.rs: visibility-only widen on
run_open_discovery_sweep from private async fn to
pub(in crate::node) async fn so the in-tree test can drive it
directly. Same pattern as already-pub(in crate::node) handlers in
src/node/handlers/.

src/node/tests/discovery.rs: add #[tokio::test]
test_open_discovery_sweep_queues_eligible_skips_filtered. Builds
Node + Arc<NostrDiscovery>, injects 3 adverts (eligible, already-
connected peer, own-pubkey), invokes the sweep, asserts retry_pending
contains exactly the eligible entry with matching peer_config npub
and the two filtered entries do NOT appear.

2. Per-attempt timeout state machine in check_pending_lookups.

Cover the central new behavior of f16b837: the [1, 2, 4, 8] retry
sequence (cumulative deadlines 1100/3100/7100/15100ms), one fresh
LookupRequest per attempt, and final-timeout reaching the unreachable
state. The opt-in DiscoveryBackoff machinery was well-tested but inert
at default config; this pins the state machine that runs by default.

Add test_check_pending_lookups_default_sequence_unreachable to
src/node/tests/discovery.rs. Constructs a Node with a peer that has
the target in its bloom but cannot respond (no Noise session — the
state-machine bookkeeping is independent of wire-send success).
Drives check_pending_lookups deterministically through:

  t=1100   → second attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=3100   → third attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=7100   → fourth attempt; entry.attempt advances; req_initiated++
  t=15099  → no-op (one ms before final deadline)
  t=15100  → final timeout

At t=15100 asserts: pending_lookups[target] removed; resp_timed_out
counter +1 (this is the actual counter name); pending_tun_packets
[target] removed (queued packet dropped); a frame on the TUN sender
with IPv6 + next_header=58 + ICMPv6 type=1 (Destination Unreachable).

Fresh-request_id-per-attempt is structurally guaranteed: LookupRequest
::generate() unconditionally calls rand::random::<u64>(), and the
test asserts req_initiated increments by exactly 1 per retry (proving
initiate_lookup runs fresh each time, not a resend of cached state).
The originator's request_id isn't stored on the originator side
(deliberately omitted from recent_requests so the response is
recognized as "ours"), so direct request_id capture is not feasible
and counter-tick is the load-bearing observable.

No production logic touched; no visibility widening needed
(check_pending_lookups was already pub(in crate::node)).

Johnathan Corgan b02eaf2c5b Merge branch 'master' into next
Forward-merges the squashed per-destination TCP MSS clamping work
(master `ae60743`) into next.

Auto-merge of source files clean. Two pre-existing test assertions
on the next-side discovery tests were updated as part of merge
resolution to reflect the target-edge MTU fold introduced by the
merged-in commit:

- test_transit_forwards_when_mtu_sufficient: 1400 → 1280 = min(target-edge 1280, transit 1400)
- test_response_path_mtu_four_node_chain: 1350 → 1280 = min(target-edge 1280, transits 1350+1500)

Resulting next tree is bit-for-bit identical to the pre-squash next
state previously verified by full local CI sweep (29 + 1 next-only
suites pass on `6a8b519` in 23m 41s).

Johnathan Corgan ae607431eb Per-destination TCP MSS clamping at the TUN boundary
Adds source-side TCP MSS clamping informed by per-destination path
MTU learned via discovery, with a conservative IPv6-minimum-derived
ceiling for cold flows where discovery has not yet completed. Closes
the multi-hop default-config TCP wedges observed in production where
a sender's local-floor MSS exceeds what some intermediate forwarder
hop is willing to carry: silent drops, no PTB feedback through the
userspace TUN to the kernel TCP stack, retransmits at the same too-
large MSS, application connection times out.

## Architecture

A new `Arc<RwLock<HashMap<FipsAddress, u16>>>` field
`path_mtu_lookup` on Node mirrors the per-destination path MTU in a
form accessible from sync TUN reader/writer threads. A new
`per_flow_max_mss` helper in `src/upper/tun.rs` reads the lookup at
SYN-clamp time and returns the appropriate ceiling for the flow.

Three write sites populate `path_mtu_lookup`:

1. **Discovery originator branch** of `handle_lookup_response`:
   the path MTU bottleneck accumulated through the reverse path
   lands here when a LookupResponse arrives at the originator.
   Same value also lands in `coord_cache` per the existing
   `insert_with_path_mtu` API.

2. **FMP peer-promotion seed** (`seed_path_mtu_for_link_peer`):
   when an FMP link-layer peer is promoted to active, the local
   outgoing-link MTU on the peer's transport seeds the lookup.
   Tighter existing values (learned via discovery) are preserved;
   the seed only writes when no entry exists or the existing
   value is looser than the link MTU. Without this seed,
   directly-configured peers (auto_connect / static peer config)
   would leave `path_mtu_lookup` empty for their FipsAddress
   because the FSP session establishes without ever issuing a
   LookupRequest.

3. **Target-edge fold at `send_lookup_response`**: when a node is
   the discovery target, it folds its own outgoing-link MTU to
   the response's next-hop into `path_mtu` before sending.
   Without this fold, the response leaves the target with
   `path_mtu = u16::MAX` and only intermediate transits min-fold;
   the target's first reverse-path hop is never represented in
   the bottleneck calculation. Refactored the existing transit-
   side min-fold into a shared `apply_outgoing_link_mtu_to_response`
   helper called from both sites.

## Read-side: per_flow_max_mss

Two TUN call sites consume the lookup:

- Outbound `handle_tun_packet` clamps SYN MSS using packet[24..40]
  (IPv6 destination) as the lookup key.
- Inbound `TunWriter::run` clamps SYN-ACK MSS using packet[8..24]
  (IPv6 source).

When the lookup contains a learned value, the helper computes
`min(global_max_mss, effective_ipv6_mtu(path_mtu) - 60)` where 60
is IPv6 (40) + TCP (20) headers and `effective_ipv6_mtu` accounts
for the FIPS encapsulation overhead.

When the lookup is empty for a destination — the cold-flow case —
the helper returns `min(global_max_mss, IPv6-minimum-derived
ceiling)`. RFC 8200 mandates every IPv6 path accept ≥1280-byte
packets, so the IPv6-minimum-derived MSS (1280 - 77 - 60 = 1143)
fits any compliant path. Without this conservative ceiling, the
first SYN to a destination with no learned path MTU exits the TUN
at the kernel-natural MSS (TUN MTU - 60), and the application
connection wedges silently before discovery completes for a
corrected second SYN to fire. The fix is provably safe: the
ceiling is taken with `min` against the local global so operators
with even tighter local floors are never loosened upward.

Subsequent flows pick up the actual learned per-destination value
once discovery (or the FMP-promotion seed for direct peers)
populates the lookup.

## Diagnostic logging

All write and read sites emit instrumentation suitable for
operators bisecting a wedged path:

- `debug!` log on every `path_mtu_lookup` write (discovery
  originator path and FMP-promotion seed path), showing the
  FipsAddress, written value, prior value, and post-write map
  size. `warn!` on poisoned-lock failure path.
- `trace!` log per `per_flow_max_mss` call covering every
  fall-through branch (wrong addr_bytes length, non-fd::/8
  prefix, lookup poisoned, no entry for destination, empty-lookup
  conservative ceiling) and the success path. trace level filters
  out under normal log settings; capture with
  `RUST_LOG=info,fips::node::handlers::discovery=debug,fips::upper::tun=trace`.

## Tests

15 new unit tests across 3 files:

- `per_flow_max_mss` (8 tests in `src/upper/tun.rs::tests`):
  empty-lookup conservative ceiling, empty-lookup global-smaller
  floor, learned-value-overrides-conservative, per-destination
  smaller, per-destination larger capped by global, non-fips
  addr, short addr slice, per-destination independence.
- `seed_path_mtu_for_link_peer` (4 tests in
  `src/node/tests/unit.rs`): seed when empty, keep tighter
  existing, tighten looser existing, no-op for unknown
  transport.
- Discovery integration (3 tests in `src/node/tests/discovery.rs`):
  apply_outgoing_link_mtu_to_response on unknown peer no-op,
  two-node target-edge fold (path_mtu reflects target-edge link),
  three-node chain transit min-fold (existing test, updated for
  target-edge inclusion).

Two pre-existing discovery tests had assertions updated to
account for the target-edge fold:

- `test_response_path_mtu_two_node`: previously asserted
  `u16::MAX` (no transit to min-fold); now asserts 1280 (the
  test transport MTU, folded in by send_lookup_response).
- `test_response_path_mtu_four_node_chain`: previously asserted
  1350 (transit MTUs only); now asserts 1280 (target-edge MTU
  is the bottleneck).
- `test_transit_forwards_when_mtu_sufficient`: previously
  asserted 1400 (transit MTU only); now asserts 1280 (target-
  edge MTU is the bottleneck).

## Verification

Local CI on this commit: 29/29 suites pass, 1105 lib tests pass,
clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings clean, cargo fmt
clean. Production deploy verified via trace capture across the
managed fleet: cold-flow conservative ceiling branch fires on
first SYN, learned-lookup branch takes over once discovery
completes, both behaviors observable end-to-end at the SYN MSS
on the wire.

No wire-format change. No config-format change.

Johnathan Corgan da5d23ccb7 Document nostr-nat ephemeral UDP transport MTU choice
Adopted ephemeral UDP transports created by adopt_established_traversal()
default to UdpConfig::default() (MTU=1280, IPv6 minimum) when the
bootstrap runtime hands a socket without an explicit transport_config
override. This is by design: NAT-traversal middlebox MTU is unpredictable
and the IPv6 minimum is the only value guaranteed by spec to survive
arbitrary paths.

Add an explanatory comment at the call site so future readers find the
rationale without spelunking through ISSUE-2026-0013, and so any future
change to the inheritance behavior is a deliberate decision rather than
an accidental refactor.

Johnathan Corgan ab2edec2c6 Add Nostr open-discovery startup sweep with diagnostic logging
Under `node.discovery.nostr.policy: open`, the per-tick auto-dial in
`queue_open_discovery_retries` was supposed to pick up adverts cached
from the relay subscription backlog at startup, but in practice only
adverts arriving live (after the daemon was up) were being dialed.
Backlog adverts sat in the in-memory cache until they aged out.

Adds a one-shot startup sweep that runs once per daemon start, gated
identically to the per-tick sweep (`enabled` && `policy == open`),
after a configurable settle delay so the relay subscription backlog
has time to populate the advert cache. The sweep iterates the cache
with the same skip-filters as the per-tick path (statically-configured
peers, already-connected, retry-pending, connecting) plus a tighter
age filter: only adverts whose `created_at` is within
`startup_sweep_max_age_secs` of now are queued.

Two new config fields under `node.discovery.nostr`:
- `startup_sweep_delay_secs` (default 5)
- `startup_sweep_max_age_secs` (default 3600 = one hour)

Both are only consulted when `policy == open`; under any other
policy the sweep is a no-op.

Adds diagnostic logging to the open-discovery sweep so operators can
verify what the auto-dial path is doing on each daemon bring-up:
info-level on each retry-queued enqueue (with peer short-npub and
advert age), and a one-line summary on every startup sweep and on
any per-tick sweep that queues at least one retry. The summary
breaks down skipped candidates by reason (age, configured, self,
already-connected, retry-pending, connecting, no-endpoints,
invalid-npub) — currently the path was silent so there was no
operator-visible signal that the cache iteration was running.

Refactors the existing `queue_open_discovery_retries` body into a
shared `run_open_discovery_sweep(max_age_secs, caller)` helper so
the per-tick and startup paths share filter/queue logic and only
differ in the age filter and log label. Surfaces `created_at` from
`NostrDiscovery::cached_open_discovery_candidates` (return tuple
extended) so the age filter has the data it needs.

Three new unit tests in `config::node::tests` cover the new defaults,
YAML override round-trip, and partial-YAML default fallback.

Johnathan Corgan 239cbdc4ba Fix Tor onion adverts missing port in Nostr overlay discovery
The Nostr overlay advert publisher serialized `transport: tor`
endpoints as a bare `<onion>.onion` hostname with no port. The Tor
address parser requires `<host>:<port>` form and rejected the bare
shape with `expected host:port`. Any peer receiving a Tor-only
advert went into a persistent retry-fail loop on jittered backoff
until the advert aged out of the discovery cache. The bug had been
latent for as long as Tor adverts have been published on Nostr, and
was masked in deployments where every node also advertised a
non-Tor transport (peers fell through to the working endpoint).
Surfaced first on a deployment where Tor was the only advert path.

Publisher now emits `<onion>.onion:<port>` using a new
`transports.tor.advertised_port` config field that defaults to 443,
matching the Tor `HiddenServicePort 443 127.0.0.1:<bind_port>`
convention. Operators whose torrc uses a non-default virtual port
can override.

Adds a unit test that pins the publisher/parser contract: formats
the advert exactly as the publisher does and asserts `parse_tor_addr`
accepts the result; asserts the bare-onion form (the bug) does not
parse, catching any future regression that drops the port again.

Parser is unchanged (already correct).

Johnathan Corgan e641eb5b5f Drop the nostr-discovery cargo feature flag
Make Nostr-mediated overlay discovery unconditional, mirroring the
philosophy of PR #79's collapse of the tui/ble/gateway features in
favor of platform cfg gates. nostr / nostr-sdk are pure Rust over
WebSockets/TCP, so they build cleanly on every FIPS-supported
platform — there is no need for the parallel feature gate.

The flag was already in `default = [...]`, so no behavior change for
anyone using `cargo build` without `--no-default-features`. Operators
who explicitly disabled the feature will now find Nostr code present
in the binary; the runtime check `node.discovery.nostr.enabled` still
controls whether the runtime starts.

Cargo.toml:
- Remove the `[features]` table entirely.
- Drop `optional = true` from `nostr` and `nostr-sdk`.

Source: 27 cfg sites collapsed across 5 files —
`src/discovery.rs`, `src/discovery/nostr/mod.rs`,
`src/node/handlers/rx_loop.rs`, `src/node/lifecycle.rs`,
`src/node/mod.rs`. Two `#[cfg(not(feature = "nostr-discovery"))]`
fallback blocks (the udp:nat-without-runtime debug-log path and the
"feature not compiled in" warning at startup) were removed as dead
code; the always-on path already handles the missing-runtime case
via `nostr_discovery: Option<NostrDiscovery>`.

Packaging and tooling:
- `packaging/openwrt-ipk/Makefile`: drop a stale `--features gateway`
  flag (the `gateway` feature was already removed in PR #79; this
  was a leftover that the build path tolerated only because cargo
  ignored unknown feature names).
- `testing/scripts/build.sh`: drop `DEFAULT_CARGO_BUILD_ARGS=(--features
  nostr-discovery)`; defaults are empty.
- `packaging/common/fips.yaml`: drop the "requires the
  nostr-discovery feature" comment from the discovery section.

Bundled cleanup:
- Apply `cargo clippy --fix` against three pre-existing warnings in
  `src/discovery/nostr/runtime.rs` and `src/discovery/nostr/stun.rs`
  (collapsed `if let Some` chain; two redundant `as i32` casts).
  These were always present but masked when the feature gate was
  off; they surface now that the code is unconditionally compiled.
- `cargo fmt` settled two minor formatting drift sites in
  `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs` and `src/config/mod.rs`.

Tests: 1083 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored. clippy clean. fmt clean.

Johnathan Corgan bf77ececad Fix DNS responder silent-drop on systemd-resolved deployments
The previous default configured systemd-resolved with `resolvectl dns
fips0 [<fips0_addr>]:5354`, intended to bypass an Ubuntu 22 systemd 249
interface-scoping bug. That target collides with the daemon's
mesh-interface filter on Linux: when an IPv6 packet's destination
belongs to a non-loopback interface, the kernel attributes the packet
to that interface in IPV6_PKTINFO (ipi6_ifindex == fips0) even though
loopback delivery is used (tcpdump shows lo). The mesh-interface filter
sees arrival_ifindex == mesh_ifindex and silently drops every query at
trace level — invisible to operators at the default debug level.

Net effect on stock deployments: every .fips query on systemd-resolved
hosts was silently dropped.

Daemon side
-----------

- Default `dns.bind_addr` changes from "::" to "::1" (IPv6 loopback
  only). The mesh-interface filter is then defanged on the default
  path because loopback isn't reachable from mesh peers. The filter
  remains in place defensively for operators who explicitly bind "::"
  to expose a mesh-reachable responder.

fips-dns-setup backend unification
----------------------------------

- New `try_global_drop_in` backend writes
  /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/fips.conf with DNS=[::1]:5354 and
  Domains=~fips. Inserted ahead of `try_resolvectl` in the dispatch
  chain. The standard loopback path has no interface scoping, so
  ipi6_ifindex reports lo and the filter passes.
- All other backends now target [::1]:5354 to match the daemon's
  default IPv6-loopback bind:
  - try_dns_delegate writes DNS=[::1]:5354
  - try_dnsmasq writes server=/fips/::1#5354
  - try_nm_dnsmasq writes server=/fips/::1#5354
- Fixed dns-delegate file path: was /etc/systemd/dns-delegate/, must
  be /etc/systemd/dns-delegate.d/ (with .d suffix). systemd-resolved
  silently ignored the previous path.
- fips-dns-teardown handles the new global-drop-in backend in cleanup.
- The legacy resolvectl per-link backend stays as a fallback,
  documented to require careful daemon bind_addr coordination.

fips-gateway upstream pairing
-----------------------------

- gateway.dns.upstream default changes from 127.0.0.1:5354 to
  [::1]:5354 to match the daemon's default bind. Linux IPv6 sockets
  bound to explicit ::1 do not accept v4-mapped traffic, so the old
  default would have caused the gateway's startup DNS reachability
  probe to time out and systemd to restart-loop the service.
- Operators who set a non-default daemon `dns.bind_addr` must also
  set `gateway.dns.upstream` to match — documented inline.

Documentation
-------------

- packaging/common/fips.yaml and packaging/openwrt-ipk fips.yaml
  examples updated; rationale for the bind_addr choice and the
  daemon/gateway pairing recorded inline.

Test coverage
-------------

- testing/dns-resolver/test.sh: real-fipsd end-to-end scenario added.
  Builds fipsd in a Debian 12 builder image (cached), runs the daemon
  with a real TUN in a privileged container, configures DNS via the
  setup script, and asserts `dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips` returns
  AAAA. Refactored as a parameterized helper running across Debian
  12/13 and Ubuntu 22/24/26 (5 e2e scenarios). Backend-aware
  assertions: on systemd >= 258 the expected backend is dns-delegate;
  on older systemd it's global-drop-in. Strict content checks fail CI
  on any [::1]:5354 drift. fips-gateway also exercised in the
  debian12 scenario to lock the gateway-upstream pairing. Renamed all
  "fipsd" references to "fips" (project convention).

- testing/deb-install/ (new harness): builds the actual .deb via
  cargo-deb in a Debian 12 builder image (cached), installs via apt
  across each target distro, verifies maintainer scripts, conffile
  placement, binary placement, and end-to-end .fips resolution after
  start. Also exercises fips-gateway against the installed daemon to
  verify the gateway/daemon default pairing on a real .deb path.

- This is the test layer that was missing — the previous harness only
  verified config files were written, never that queries reached the
  daemon.

Verified: dns-resolver 78/78 assertions, deb-install 55/55 assertions
across all 5 distros (debian:12, debian:trixie, ubuntu:22.04,
ubuntu:24.04, ubuntu:26.04).

34e00b9f6e Add Nostr-mediated overlay discovery and UDP NAT traversal (#53)
Optional peer discovery and NAT hole-punching path gated behind a new
`nostr-discovery` cargo feature. Nodes publish signed overlay endpoint
adverts to public Nostr relays, consume peer adverts to populate
fallback dial addresses, and use STUN-assisted UDP hole punching with
NIP-59 gift-wrap offer/answer signaling to establish direct UDP paths
between NATed peers. Once a punched socket is up, it is handed into
the existing FIPS UDP transport and the standard Noise/FMP session
stack takes over unchanged.

The cargo feature is in the default feature set
(`default = ["nostr-discovery"]`) so stock builds include it; a
build that explicitly disables default features (or selects a
feature set without `nostr-discovery`) does not link the nostr /
nostr-sdk crates and does not emit a no-op poll in the tick loop.
Runtime behavior is independently gated by
`node.discovery.nostr.enabled`, which defaults to false; if the
config enables Nostr on a non-feature build, startup logs a
warning and continues without it.

== Cargo feature and dependencies

- New cargo feature `nostr-discovery = ["dep:nostr", "dep:nostr-sdk"]`.
  Not in the default feature set.
- New optional Linux-only dependencies: `nostr 0.44` (features: std,
  nip59) and `nostr-sdk 0.44`. Gift-wrap unwrap is hand-rolled in
  `src/discovery/nostr/signal.rs` rather than relying on the SDK's
  rumor-author check, which FIPS sidesteps by trusting `seal.pubkey`
  exclusively.

== Wire format

Overlay advert event: `kind 37195`, parameterized replaceable
(NIP-01 application-defined replaceable range 30000-39999), with
`d = "fips-overlay-v1"`. The digits visually spell FIPS (7=F, 1=I,
9=P, 5=S); a relay survey confirmed the kind is unused.

Advert content carries the version tag, endpoint list
(`udp|tcp|tor` + addr), optional signal-relay and stun-server
metadata, and `issuedAt` / `expiresAt` timestamps. Endpoint
`addr: "nat"` is the sentinel that triggers traversal on the peer
side. NIP-40 `expiration` tag bounds staleness on permanent
shutdown. Lifecycle relies on parameterized-replaceable
supersession; the daemon does not emit NIP-09 kind-5 deletes —
strict relays (Damus, Primal) race delete-against-replace and can
silently drop the replacement.

Gift-wrapped signal event: `kind 21059`. Punch packets carry magic
values `PUNCH_MAGIC` / `PUNCH_ACK_MAGIC`, a sequence number, and a
16-byte session hash.

== Discovery surface

- `src/discovery.rs` (always compiled)
  - `EstablishedTraversal`: bound UDP socket + selected remote +
    peer npub + optional transport name/config tuning overrides.
  - `BootstrapHandoffResult`: returned on successful handoff —
    allocated transport id, local/remote addrs, peer NodeAddr,
    session id.
- `src/discovery/nostr/` (`#![cfg(feature = "nostr-discovery")]`)
  - `types.rs`: wire and control types described above. `ADVERT_KIND`
    constant. `BootstrapError` enumerates failure modes (disabled,
    missing advert, missing NAT endpoint, no usable relays, invalid
    advert, invalid npub, signal timeout, punch timeout, replay,
    STUN failure, protocol, nostr, io, serde, event-parse).
  - `runtime.rs`: `NostrDiscovery` coordinator. Owns the shared
    nostr-sdk `Client`, subscribes to advert + signal event kinds,
    maintains a bounded advert cache and a bounded seen-sessions
    replay set, drains `BootstrapEvent::{Established, Failed}` for
    the node to consume, exposes `update_local_advert`,
    `request_connect`, `advert_endpoints_for_peer`,
    `cached_open_discovery_candidates`, and `shutdown`.
  - `signal.rs`: NIP-59 gift-wrap encode/decode. Outbound wraps are
    built against per-attempt ephemeral keys; inbound events are
    unwrapped against the node identity.
  - `stun.rs`: RFC 5389/8489 Binding Request client with
    XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS parsing for both IPv4 and IPv6; used only to
    observe the initiator's own reflexive address against its
    locally configured STUN list (peer-advertised STUN is
    informational, never an egress target).
  - `traversal.rs`: per-attempt candidate-pair punch planner.
    Allocates a fresh `0.0.0.0:0` UDP socket per attempt, enumerates
    LAN-private and ULA interface addresses alongside the STUN
    reflexive address, schedules probe/ack exchanges at the
    configured interval for the configured duration, and picks the
    first candidate pair that authenticates end-to-end.

Strategy ordering is Reflexive↔Reflexive first, then LAN, then
Mixed. The STUN-observed pair is the only candidate that's reliable
across arbitrary network topologies; trying it first prevents the
planner from latching onto a misleading host-candidate path before
the reflexive path gets a chance. There is no catch-all
Local↔Local strategy: a previous design that paired every local
host candidate from one side with every local host candidate from
the other could declare success on a one-way reachable asymmetric
L3 path (corporate VPN, Tailscale subnet route, overlapping private
address space), only for the FMP handshake to stall because the
return path didn't match. The legitimate `Lan` strategy still pairs
candidates that share a subnet.

== Configuration surface

`node.discovery.nostr.*` (`NostrDiscoveryConfig`), all `serde(default)`
with `deny_unknown_fields`:

- `enabled` (default false), `advertise` (default true)
- `advert_relays`, `dm_relays`, `stun_servers`: defaults are
  `wss://relay.damus.io`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://offchain.pub`
  for both relay lists, and Google / Cloudflare / Twilio for STUN.
  Operators are expected to override for production. Other
  verified-working public relays for reference:
  `nostr.bitcoiner.social`, `nostr-pub.wellorder.net`,
  `nostr.oxtr.dev`, `nostr.mom`.
- `app` (default `"fips-overlay-v1"`), `signal_ttl_secs` (120)
- `policy`: `NostrDiscoveryPolicy::{Disabled, ConfiguredOnly (default),
  Open}` — controls whether advert-derived endpoints are consumed
  only for peers carrying `via_nostr = true`, or also for
  non-configured peers within a budget cap.
- `share_local_candidates` (default false) — when false, the offer's
  `local_addresses` list is empty and peers see only the reflexive
  address. Enable per-node only for genuinely same-LAN deployments;
  off-by-default eliminates the misleading-path failure mode for
  the common case where peers are not on the same broadcast domain.
- `open_discovery_max_pending` (64) — caps queued open-discovery
  retries; bounded by available outbound slots.
- `max_concurrent_incoming_offers` (16) — semaphore against offer
  spam; excess offers are debug-logged and dropped.
- `advert_cache_max_entries` (2048) and `seen_sessions_max_entries`
  (2048) — bound memory under ambient relay volume; overflow
  evictions are debug-logged.
- `attempt_timeout_secs` (10), `replay_window_secs` (300)
- `punch_start_delay_ms` (2000), `punch_interval_ms` (200),
  `punch_duration_ms` (10000)
- `advert_ttl_secs` (3600), `advert_refresh_secs` (1800)

Per-peer and per-transport flags:

- `PeerConfig.via_nostr: bool` — when true (and Nostr is enabled),
  advert-derived addresses are appended as fallback dial candidates
  after static addresses for that peer.
- `PeerConfig.addresses` is now `serde(default)` and may be empty
  when `via_nostr: true`; validation requires at least one of the
  two to be present per peer, and the error message names the
  peer's npub.
- `UdpConfig.advertise_on_nostr: Option<bool>` and
  `UdpConfig.public: Option<bool>` — UDP transports can be
  advertised either as direct `host:port` (public = true) or as the
  `addr: "nat"` sentinel that triggers rendezvous on the peer side.
- `TcpConfig.advertise_on_nostr` and `TorConfig.advertise_on_nostr`
  — TCP and Tor onion endpoints can be advertised as directly
  reachable.
- A reserved peer address `transport: udp, addr: "nat"` parses without
  special-casing in YAML and routes through the bootstrap runtime.

Cross-field validation (`Config::validate`, called from `Node::new`
and `Node::with_identity`):

- Any transport with `advertise_on_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- Any peer with `via_nostr = true` requires
  `node.discovery.nostr.enabled = true`.
- A non-public UDP advert (`advertise_on_nostr = true`,
  `public = false` — i.e. `udp:nat`) additionally requires at least
  one `dm_relay` and at least one `stun_server`.
  Surfaced as `ConfigError::Validation`.

== Node integration

`src/node/lifecycle.rs` is the main integration point.

- At node start (after transports are up, before TUN), if Nostr is
  enabled and the feature is compiled in, `NostrDiscovery::start` is
  invoked, the initial local overlay advert is built from the live
  transport set and published, and the runtime handle is stored.
- The rx tick loop calls `poll_nostr_discovery` (feature-gated both
  at method definition and call site), which refreshes the local
  advert, drains bootstrap events, adopts established traversals,
  schedules retries for failed traversals, and — under `policy:
  open` — enqueues outbound retries for non-configured peers
  visible in the advert cache, bounded by
  `open_discovery_max_pending` and the remaining outbound slots.
- Outbound peer dialing is refactored to `try_peer_addresses`, which
  first exhausts the static address list in priority order and only
  then appends advert-derived fallback addresses; both lists run
  through the same `attempt_peer_address_list` code path. The
  `udp:nat` sentinel address triggers `NostrDiscovery::request_connect`
  for the peer instead of a direct dial and returns `Ok(())`.
- `build_overlay_advert` walks operational transports, consults
  per-instance `UdpConfig` / `TcpConfig` / `TorConfig` (matching by
  optional transport instance name), and emits an `OverlayAdvert`
  including `signalRelays` and `stunServers` when any UDP endpoint
  is advertised as NAT.
- `adopt_established_traversal` is the bootstrap handoff API:
  allocates a new `TransportId`, constructs a `UdpTransport` with
  the user-supplied (or default) `UdpConfig`, calls the new
  `adopt_socket_async` to reuse the punched socket verbatim,
  registers the transport in the normal transport map, records it
  in `bootstrap_transports`, and calls `initiate_connection` so the
  normal handshake path runs. On failure, the transport is stopped
  and removed cleanly and the set membership is rolled back.
- On clean shutdown, `NostrDiscovery::shutdown` is awaited so
  background tasks stop before transports are torn down. (The
  advert is not explicitly retracted; NIP-40 expiration plus the
  next refresh from any live publisher supersedes it.)

New `Node` fields:

- `nostr_discovery: Option<Arc<NostrDiscovery>>` (feature-gated).
- `bootstrap_transports: HashSet<TransportId>` — per-peer UDP
  transports adopted from NAT traversal, cleaned up via
  `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` whenever the link,
  connection, peer, or pending-connect referencing them is removed.

Retry and error surface:

- `RetryState.expires_at_ms: Option<u64>` — optional absolute expiry
  for a retry entry. `pump_retries` drops expired entries with an
  info log. Used for open-discovery retries, which expire at two
  times the advert TTL.
- New `NodeError::BootstrapHandoff(String)` returned from
  `adopt_established_traversal` when the underlying transport
  adoption fails or local address discovery fails.
- New `ConfigError::Validation(String)`.
- A small refactor extracts `Node::now_ms()` and reuses it across
  lifecycle, rx-loop tick, and timeout bookkeeping.

== UDP transport

`src/transport/udp/`:

- `UdpRawSocket::adopt(std::net::UdpSocket, recv_buf, send_buf)`:
  adopts an externally bound socket, makes it non-blocking, applies
  the configured buffer sizes (warning if the kernel clamps), and
  reports the resulting local address. Preserves the NAT mapping —
  no rebind.
- `UdpTransport::adopt_socket_async(std::net::UdpSocket)`: the
  `start_async` analogue for an already-bound socket, wiring the
  async socket and recv task exactly as the fresh-bind path would.
- `Drop` impl for `UdpTransport`: if a transport is dropped while
  still holding a recv task or socket (for example on error
  teardown), aborts the task, clears the socket, and emits a debug
  log so the cleanup is visible in tracing rather than silent.

== Logging and observability

Default `EnvFilter` demotes third-party relay-pool DEBUG output to
TRACE-only: `nostr_relay_pool`, `nostr_sdk`, and `nostr` are pinned
at INFO when our level is anything below TRACE, and at TRACE when
our level is TRACE — so the raw frames are still reachable when
explicitly asked for. RUST_LOG continues to override completely.

Concise one-line DEBUG events are emitted at the meaningful points
in the discovery / hole-punch sequence:

- `advert: published` (event id, relay count, endpoints, ttl)
- `advert: peer cached` (notify-loop ingress for non-self)
- `advert: resolved` (cache hit / relay fetch outcome)
- `traversal: initiator starting`
- `traversal: initiator STUN observed` (reflexive, local count)
- `traversal: offer sent` (session id, relay count, event id)
- `traversal: answer received` (accepted, reflexive, local)
- `traversal: initiator punch succeeded` (remote addr)
- `traversal: offer received` (responder side)
- `traversal: responder STUN observed`
- `traversal: answer sent`
- `traversal: responder punch succeeded`

Npubs are shortened to `npub1<4>..<4>` and event/session ids to
their first 8 hex characters.

Other operator-facing logs:

- `UdpTransport` adoption and drop paths log at info / debug.
- `adopt_established_traversal` logs at debug on entry and info on
  successful return, tagged with peer npub, session id, transport
  id, and both socket endpoints, so the bootstrap handoff is
  traceable end-to-end alongside the `UdpTransport::drop` log.
- `cleanup_bootstrap_transport_if_unused` logs at debug when the
  reference-count check drops an adopted transport.
- `connect_peer` tags its entry `debug!` with `peer_npub` so
  downstream STUN, punch, and handshake logs for the same peer
  correlate for operators.
- Advert-cache and seen-sessions overflow evictions log at debug so
  mis-sized caps are visible under ambient relay volume.
- Gift-wrap unwrap failures on `SIGNAL_KIND` events log at trace
  (hot path: fires for every unrelated signal event on the same
  relay).
- Traversal-offer handler failures log at debug. Expected conditions
  such as punch timeout on symmetric NAT are covered there; real
  problems are reported upstream via `BootstrapEvent::Failed`.
- Inbound-offer rate-limit messages name the governing config field
  (`max_concurrent_incoming_offers`) and state that the offer was
  rate-limited rather than failing.

== Tests

- 18 new unit tests in `src/discovery/nostr/tests.rs` covering advert
  encoding, signal envelope round-trip, STUN parsing, punch-packet
  codec, and replay-window enforcement. Run under the
  `nostr-discovery` feature.
- Config-validation tests in `src/config/mod.rs` covering the three
  cross-field invariants and YAML parsing of the full
  `node.discovery.nostr` block plus `peers[].via_nostr`, empty
  `addresses` with `via_nostr: true`, and a `udp: nat` address.
- `src/node/tests/bootstrap.rs` integration tests that drive a
  synthetic traversal (bound UDP socket pair + synthetic peer
  identity) through `adopt_established_traversal` and assert the
  Noise handshake completes over the adopted socket.
- Punch-planner tests assert reflexive-before-LAN ordering and that
  same-LAN scenarios still include the LAN target in the plan.
- `testing/nat/` Docker NAT lab harness:
  - Local `strfry` relay, local STUN responder, and one or two
    router containers performing `iptables` NAT.
  - Node LAN interfaces are provisioned with explicit `veth` pairs
    injected into the node and router namespaces so every packet
    traverses the router namespace (plain Docker bridges are not
    used for the LAN).
  - `cone` scenario: both peers behind full-cone-emulation NAT
    (SNAT with source-port preservation, inbound DNAT back to the
    single LAN host regardless of remote source); asserts UDP
    traversal succeeds and link remote addresses are on the router
    WAN subnet.
  - `symmetric` scenario: `MASQUERADE --random-fully`; asserts UDP
    traversal fails and TCP fallback converges over router-
    published WAN addresses.
  - `lan` scenario: both peers share a LAN subnet; asserts LAN
    addresses are preferred over reflexive ones.
  - Cleanup tears down all profile-gated services
    (`--profile cone --profile symmetric --profile lan`) so no
    orphan containers survive a run.
- `testing/scripts/build.sh` builds the Docker test image with
  `--features "tui nostr-discovery"` by default so NAT-harness
  binaries include bootstrap support.

== CI

- Linux release build and nextest unit-test job both use
  `--features "gateway nostr-discovery"` so the feature-gated code
  and its unit tests compile and run in CI.
- Three new integration matrix entries (`nat-cone`, `nat-symmetric`,
  `nat-lan`) invoke `testing/nat/scripts/nat-test.sh`, collect
  `docker compose logs` on failure, and always stop containers.

== Packaging and operations

- `packaging/common/fips.yaml` ships a fully commented
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` block, plus documented
  `advertise_on_nostr` / `public` examples under the UDP transport,
  an `advertise_on_nostr` example under TCP, and a `via_nostr: true`
  example under the static peer section with both a direct
  `host:port` UDP address and a `udp: nat` fallback.
- `.github/workflows/package-openwrt.yml`: NIP-94 release event
  publishes target the new default relay set.

== Documentation

- `README.md`: overlay discovery + NAT traversal moved from
  "Near-term priorities" into "What works today".
- `docs/design/fips-intro.md`: rewrites the paragraphs that
  previously described Nostr discovery and NAT traversal as future
  work; describes the shipped mechanism and the feature gate.
- `docs/design/fips-transport-layer.md`: drops the "(future
  direction)" qualifier from the Nostr Relay Discovery section,
  expands with the `udp:nat` advertisement and bootstrap handoff
  description, and updates the Current State callout.
- `docs/design/fips-mesh-layer.md`: notes that mid-session NAT
  rebinding (roaming) and initial NAT traversal (Nostr path) are
  distinct mechanisms.
- `docs/design/fips-configuration.md`: documents the full
  `node.discovery.nostr.*` surface, including the three resource
  caps and `share_local_candidates`.
- `docs/design/fips-nostr-discovery.md`: design and configuration
  reference for the shipped mechanism, including the empty-
  `addresses`-with-`via_nostr` shorthand.
- `docs/proposals/nostr-udp-hole-punch-protocol.md`: adds an
  Implemented status callout, clarifies that the punch socket is
  per-peer and per-attempt rather than shared with the application
  listener, aligns field names with the shipped JSON
  (`sessionId`, `issuedAt` / `expiresAt`, `reflexiveAddress`,
  `localAddresses`, `stunServer`), sets the `d`-tag to
  `fips-overlay-v1`, names the kind as 37195, and notes that
  advertised STUN entries are informational.
- `docs/proposals/README.md`: adds a Status column and marks the
  hole-punching proposal Implemented.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Unreleased > Added entry covering the discovery
  path, STUN/punch path, configuration surface, and Docker NAT lab.

Johnathan CorganandGitHub cbc78091ab Rationalize cargo feature and platform-gate surface (#79)
Drop the `tui`, `ble`, and `gateway` cargo features and replace
them with platform cfg gates. Plain `cargo build` now produces
every subsystem appropriate for the target platform with no
feature flags required.

Motivation:
- `default = ["tui", "ble"]` broke `cargo build` on macOS and
  Windows because `ble` pulled in `bluer` (BlueZ, Linux-only).
  Every non-Linux packager needed `--no-default-features`.
- The feature flags on `ble` and `gateway` were redundant with
  their platform-gated deps (`bluer`, `rustables`). The parallel
  gating was inconsistent and error-prone.
- `tui` feature protected against a ratatui binary-size concern
  that no longer applies in 2026.

Cargo.toml:
- Remove `tui`, `ble`, `gateway` features; `default = []`.
- Promote `ratatui` to a non-optional top-level dependency.
- Move `rustables` from top-level optional into the Linux
  target block, non-optional.
- Split `bluer` into its own target block with
  `cfg(all(target_os = "linux", not(target_env = "musl")))`
  — BlueZ isn't available on musl router targets and
  `libdbus-sys` doesn't cross-compile to musl without pkg-config
  sysroot setup.
- Drop `required-features` from the `fipstop` and `fips-gateway`
  `[[bin]]` entries.

build.rs:
- Emit a `bluer_available` custom cfg when `target_os == "linux"`
  and `target_env != "musl"`, for use in place of the verbose
  full predicate in source cfg gates.

Source:
- Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "gateway")]` with
  `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`. Gateway code works on both
  glibc and musl Linux (rustables is fine on musl).
- Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "ble")]` with
  `#[cfg(bluer_available)]`. BLE-specific code (BluerIo module,
  bluer type conversions, BLE transport instance creation,
  resolve_ble_addr) is excluded on musl and non-Linux. Generic
  `BleAddr`, `BleIo` trait, `MockBleIo`, and `BleTransport<I>`
  still compile on all targets.
- `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs`: always compiled, but `main()` is
  gated to Linux. Non-Linux stub exits 1 with a diagnostic.
  Existing non-Linux packaging scripts don't ship it, so the
  stub binary sits unused.

Packaging and CI:
- Drop `--features` and `--no-default-features` flags from every
  packaging script and workflow. Defaults now match each
  platform's capabilities.
- AUR `fips-git` automatically aligns with stable `PKGBUILD`
  (both build with defaults).

Verified: `cargo build --release` with no flags produces all
four binaries on glibc Linux; all unit and integration tests
pass across Linux/macOS/Windows/OpenWrt (musl) in CI.

Johnathan CorganandGitHub ed312ac6f2 Fix DNS resolution on Ubuntu 22 with systemd-resolved (#77)
On Ubuntu 22 (systemd 249), systemd-resolved applies interface-scoped
routing to per-link DNS servers. Configuring `resolvectl dns fips0
127.0.0.1:5354` caused resolved to attempt reaching 127.0.0.1 through
fips0 (a TUN with only fd00::/8 routes), silently failing. The DNS
responder never received queries. Newer systemd versions (250+) have
explicit handling for loopback servers on non-loopback interfaces.

Changes:

- DNS responder default bind_addr changed from "127.0.0.1" to "::"
  so it listens on all interfaces, including fips0. Bind logic in
  lifecycle.rs now parses bind_addr as IpAddr and constructs a
  SocketAddr, handling IPv6 literal formatting. Factored into
  Node::bind_dns_socket with explicit IPV6_V6ONLY=0 via socket2, so
  IPv4 clients on 127.0.0.1:5354 still reach the responder
  regardless of the kernel's net.ipv6.bindv6only sysctl.

- fips-dns-setup resolvectl backend now waits for fips0 to have a
  global IPv6 address, then configures resolved with
  [<fips0-addr>]:5354. That address is locally delivered by the
  kernel regardless of which interface resolved tries to route
  through. The dnsmasq and NetworkManager backends still use
  127.0.0.1 (they don't have the interface-scoping issue).

- Dropped hardcoded `bind_addr: "127.0.0.1"` from the packaged
  fips.yaml (Debian + OpenWrt). The shipped config was overriding
  the new default.

- DNS queries are only accepted from the localhost.

Verified end-to-end in a privileged Ubuntu 22.04 systemd container:
dig @127.0.0.53 AAAA <npub>.fips resolves cleanly through
systemd-resolved.

The dns-delegate backend (systemd 258+) still uses 127.0.0.1; it
has not been verified whether that backend has the same routing
issue.

Alex XieandJohnathan Corgan 745b523ac6 Add peer ACL enforcement with reloadable allow/deny files (#50)
Implement TCP Wrappers-style peer access control using
/etc/fips/peers.allow and /etc/fips/peers.deny files. Evaluation
order: allow overrides deny, default permit when no files exist.

Three enforcement points: outbound connect (before dialing), inbound
handshake (msg1 receipt, after restart/rekey classification), and
outbound handshake completion (msg2, before peer promotion). Files
support npub, hex pubkey, host alias, and ALL wildcard entries with
automatic mtime-based reload.

Adds fipsctl acl show query, 954-line acl module with unit tests,
and a 6-node Docker integration harness (testing/acl-allowlist/)
exercising insider, outsider, and allowed-remote scenarios. CI
matrix entry included.

Closes #50

Johnathan Corgan 8162d3c237 Minimal shared-media beacons: 4-byte header, strip pubkey, remove BLE exchange
Redesign shared-media transport framing now that XX replaces IK:

- Ethernet: unified 4-byte header [type][flags][length:2 LE] for all
  frame types, effective MTU now if_mtu - 4
- Beacons: strip 32-byte pubkey (34 → 5 bytes), identity learned from
  XX handshake msg2/msg3 instead of beacon
- BLE: remove pre-handshake pubkey_exchange() and cross-probe
  tie-breaker, both unnecessary with XX
- Discovery: support anonymous connections (pubkey_hint: None) with
  address-based dedup for shared-media transports
- Post-handshake identity hooks in handle_msg2/msg3 for self-detection
  and future allow/deny list filtering (IDEA-0047)

Origami74 e693f4fb7e Add macOS support, fix bloom filter routing and MMP intervals
macOS platform:
- Platform-native TUN interface management with shutdown pipe
- Raw Ethernet transport with macOS socket backend (socket_macos.rs)
- EthernetTransport and TransportHandle::Ethernet ungated from Linux-only
- macOS .pkg packaging (build-pkg.sh, launchd plist, uninstall script)
- CI: macOS build and unit test jobs; x86_64 cross-compiled from
  macos-latest via rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin

Gateway feature flag:
- New opt-in `gateway` Cargo feature activates optional `rustables` dep
- `pub mod gateway` and `Config.gateway` gated behind the feature so
  macOS builds never pull in Linux-only nftables bindings
- `fips-gateway` bin has `required-features = ["gateway"]`
- All Linux/OpenWrt/AUR packaging passes `--features gateway`

CI / packaging:
- package-linux, package-macos, package-openwrt now trigger on push to
  master/maint/next and on pull requests; release uploads remain tag-gated
- Bloom filter routing fix: fall through to tree routing when no candidate
  is strictly closer
- MMP intervals: raise MIN to 1s / MAX to 5s with 5-sample cold-start phase

Johnathan Corgan 89352d3218 Add BLE L2CAP transport with scan-based auto-connect
BLE transport implementation using L2CAP Connection-Oriented Channels
(SeqPacket mode) via the bluer crate, behind cfg(feature = "ble").

Core transport:
- BleTransport<I> generic over BleIo trait (BluerIo prod, MockBleIo test)
- Connection pool with priority eviction (static > discovered, max 7)
- Connect-on-send via connect_inline() matching TCP behavior
- Per-connection receive loops with pool cleanup on disconnect

Discovery and probing:
- Combined scan_probe_loop using select! over scanner events and a
  BinaryHeap delay queue with per-entry random jitter (0-5s) to prevent
  herd effects when multiple nodes see the same beacon simultaneously
- Pre-handshake pubkey exchange ([0x00][pubkey:32]) for IK identity
- Cross-probe tie-breaker: smaller NodeAddr's outbound wins (same
  convention as FMP/FSP rekey dual-initiation)
- Probed peers reported to DiscoveryBuffer; pool fills through normal
  node-layer auto-connect -> send_async -> connect_inline path

Beacon management:
- Periodic advertising: 1s burst every 30s (configurable via
  beacon_interval_secs / beacon_duration_secs)
- FIPS service UUID for scan filtering

Configuration (all fields optional with defaults):
- adapter, psm, mtu, max_connections, connect_timeout_ms
- advertise, scan, auto_connect, accept_connections
- beacon_interval_secs (30), beacon_duration_secs (1)

Hardware validated with two BLE nodes:
- 2048-byte MTU, ~60-160ms RTT, zero-config auto-connect
- BLE spike tool at testing/ble/ for standalone adapter validation

42 unit tests + 4 node-level integration tests, all CI-compatible
via MockBleIo (no hardware required). tokio test-util added for
time-dependent scan/probe tests.

Johnathan Corgan b8fbecc575 Demote 35 info-level log messages to debug for cleaner production output
Reduce info-level noise by moving intermediate steps, periodic
telemetry, cross-connection resolution details, and redundant messages
to debug. Info output now focuses on operator-relevant state changes:
lifecycle events, peer promotions, session establishment, parent
switches, and transport start/stop.

Key categories demoted:
- Handshake cross-connection resolution mechanics (10 messages)
- Periodic MMP link/session metric reports (4 messages)
- TUN cleanup messages redundant with lifecycle shutdown (4 messages)
- Transport "packet channel closed" shutdown messages (4 messages)
- Retry scheduling, discovery lookup initiation, other intermediate steps

Change default RUST_LOG from debug to info in systemd unit files.

Johnathan Corgan 5053cf673d Add connect/disconnect control commands and maelstrom chaos scenario
Add runtime peer management to the FIPS daemon via control socket
commands, and a new chaos simulation scenario that exercises dynamic
topology mutation with ephemeral node identities.

Daemon (connect/disconnect commands):
- Extend control socket Request with optional params field
- Add commands.rs module for mutating command dispatch, separate from
  read-only queries
- Add api_connect() on Node: builds ephemeral PeerConfig (no auto-
  reconnect), pre-seeds identity cache, reuses initiate_peer_connection
- Add api_disconnect() on Node: calls remove_active_peer(), clears
  retry_pending to suppress reconnection
- Route non-show_* commands to async command dispatch in rx_loop

fipsctl CLI:
- Add Connect and Disconnect subcommands accepting npub or hostname
- Resolve hostnames from /etc/fips/hosts before sending to daemon
- Refactor socket I/O into reusable send_request helper

Chaos simulator (maelstrom scenario):
- Add PeerChurnManager: periodically disconnects a random active link
  and connects a random unconnected node pair via control socket
- Add send_command() to control.py using base64-encoded JSON payloads
  to avoid shell quoting issues in docker exec
- Add PeerChurnConfig to scenario with interval and ephemeral_fraction
- Ephemeral identity support: nodes configured without nsec generate
  fresh keypairs on restart; simulator queries show_status for new
  npub and updates its cache via on_node_restart callback
- Add maelstrom.yaml: all chaos dimensions (netem, link flaps, node
  churn, peer topology churn, traffic) with 50% ephemeral identity

KieranandJohnathan Corgan e8ef15acb7 Fix stale session cleanup and identity cache pre-seeding
Cherry-picked from v0l PR #6 (issue #5):

1. remove_active_peer() now removes the end-to-end session from
   self.sessions when evicting a peer. The stale Established entry
   caused initiate_session() to silently return Ok(()) via the
   is_established() guard, preventing session re-establishment after
   link-layer reconnection.

2. initiate_peer_connections() pre-seeds the identity cache from
   configured peer npubs at startup, so TUN packets can be dispatched
   immediately without waiting for handshake completion.

3. schedule_reconnect() preserves accumulated backoff when a retry
   entry already exists, preventing exponential backoff reset on
   repeated link-dead cycles.

Includes regression tests for all three fixes.
